Building New Hope is a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit organization with years of experience doing community level development work in Nicaragua and El Salvador. They are particularly active in Granada, Nicaragua, where I am going this Sunday. I’m very excited to dine at Cafe Chavalos, a remarkably successful—and delicious—endeavor to turn high risk street kids into gourmet chefs. Building New Hope is also selling high quality Nicaraguan fair trade coffee, oozing with dark roast richness and good karma. These are only two of BNH’s many projects, about which I hope to write more soon. In the meantime, read about their volunteer opportunities. Bueno pues—see you in Granada…
